Gambling is risky game of money from which most people lose and just a few wins. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it.
In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.

Actually gambling is already considered as a metal illness by some psychologists, but who cares. Gambling itself is a form of entertainment, addiction is a separate health issue. You can find people who are susceptible for forming addictions, everywhere not just in gambling. BTW being a maniac workaholic can ruin someone's family life just as much as being an addicted gambler, but in a different way.

There will always be gambling in free societies, trying to stop gambling is like trying to stop alcohol, it never works. In the long term, there would be an huge underground gambling scene so you might as well have it accepted and regulated if the government wants their cut out of gambling, that's why they sell alcohol and cigs too. They are still stubborn in trying to fight weed for some reason tho. Prolly has to do with weapon business.

But the core reason is gambling. If you play gambling, you will get addiction which leads to all the problems. So, we can simply summarize the root cause of problems as gambling. I also consider gambling as a modern age sickness to our society.

Gambling is not sickness. If you are lucky in gambling you can make a lot of money and that will be very good.
There is of course more often that you lose money than you win money and that is the problem. Many people lost a lot of money with gambling.

Everything in life is gambling in one form or another...

I think all its just if you have an addiction and are stealing and
not paying your bills to gamble etc.

If you treat it as a form of entertainment and keep the stakes small
it wont lead to a problem. When I lose I keep the stakes under $100 so
its not a crushing defeat where I feel like I need to get that money back.

Well the big problem to the most gamblers besides they become addicted,well they usually spend more then they should,soo the only way out should be stop,but they keep till get no option.Sure just some are on that situation,but when you winning you will take a risk that werent planed  to happen,soo if you are winning around 50 -200 dolalrs you will try to get a bigger reward,but well usually you will lost more then win .

I agree if you are winning you should quit while you are, In the end most players lose since there is a constant spread against the player.

it is already considered as sickness because people even steals money just to gamble more, it is same as drugs or smoking, once you start it you can't stop without help of others, so there are even hospitals to save gamblers from gambling, just to make them stop and fix their life

No it is not that bad. Because there are many people that have earned a lot of money with gambling so that is very good for them.
Of course there are many people that lost a lot of money with gambling. But it is their own fault because they have to control themselves.

Gambling can be addictive if you are prone to addiction, there are many groups that do treat this as a sickness and try to help those who need it.

It all depends on the person, I know people that can put a bet on every now and again and only for a small amount and they are happy win or lose, then there are others that put too much on and just can't stop.

yes i agree whit this, gambling is a disease, just like alcoholism and drug addiction. Few people play smart but the majority lose the control and consequently also all the money

The same way as alchool ,drugs,gambling is is used in exessive way will hit you deeply.This three if you abuse them you will get addicted and will become a sicness person,without any interest besides those.Soo gambling cant be called that way as some people just use if on free time,and spending a bit ,trying to grow their portfolio,nothing wrong on that.

Calling it a sickness is just plain retarded. There are too many of these anti-gambling threads on bitcointalk, most of them should be locked because they are repetative.

The much more appropriate line would be, not knowing when to quit gambling is sickness. Many tend to get addicted to gambling and win or lose,.

I guess a lot of people who fill your free times to gamble, it's because as you say, they are already addicted, lose or win it will not stop them, because gambling like alcohol or drugs are addictive. I guess that's why Gambling should be Considered as a Sickness

Just because some people can't control themselves and go yolo does not mean that people who do it from time to time should be considered sick.

Off course, that gambling should not be considered as a sickness. It should be considered as an addiction because it's what it actually is.
